Label Creation with Your Word Processor

DuraLabel 9000 printers operate off a standard Windows driver that allows access to a wide variety of software packages.

NOTE: Navigation may vary depending on your version of Word, but the tools will be the same.

USING TEMPLATES

IMPORTANT! If you do not follow this step, you will need to create all labels from scratch.

The DuraLabel 9000 provides a variety of templates you can install from the installation CD startup screen. Click on Templates & Symbols and follow the instructions. When installation is complete, templates and symbols will be accessible from a folder titled My Documents\DL9000 Templates & Symbols.

To use a template, open Microsoft Word, select Open and browse the DL9000 Templates & Symbols folder. Any template you choose has been set up to print correctly on the DuraLabel 9000 printer with minimal augmentation.

SETTING UP A MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENT

When opening a document, change size and margins to match your label's size. (Word processors default to 8.5" x 11".) Click on the File menu, then Page Setup. Click the Margins tab on the Page Setup dialog box that appears. Set all Margins to 0 to print on the entire supply.

Set Orientation to Portrait if label width is the same dimension as the supply width loaded in your printer. Set orientation to Landscape if label height is the same as the supply width loaded in your printer. Click OK when done.

Now select the Paper tab and set the Paper size to the size label you want to create. Either the Width or Height should match the width of supply loaded in your printer.
